Ira Glass with Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass: Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host

The unlikely bedfellows of dance and radio meet in an inventive, funny, and joyful production by This American Life radio host Ira Glass, with choreographer Monica Bill Barnes and dancer Anna Bass. Returning after a previously sold-out engagement at Cal Performances, the collaborators meet over a shared fascination with everyday stories, in a "charmingly homespun show—which traces interlocking themes of love, mortality and dedication through live talking and dancing and radio snippets" (The New York Times). Barnes, called "the Tina Fey of Dance" by the Washington Post, reveals the humor and compassion in daily living, and here combines elements of vaudeville and dance to match Glass's signature wit and charm.
